This article is from a christian who is doing a review of left wing liberal bias and this is what he found out about what the Christian Bookstores are allowing on their shelves.

What would Jesus read?And why are Christian bookstores peddling hate?

It was with a great deal of disappointment that, while doing research for a book I’m writing, I discovered a darker side to these stores that deeply offended me as a practicing Christian and a follower of Jesus Christ. I started out looking for signs of political bias, as I was writing a chapter on liberal media bias, and wanted to find out if any political bias existed in Christian bookstores. Much of what I found was predictable enough. There were no fewer than eight books on Ronald Reagan; a half-dozen on George W. Bush, many dealing with his prayer life (one I found amusing: The Leadership Genius of George W. Bush: 10 Commonsense Lessons from the Commander in Chief, kind of like Mao’s Little Red Book); biographies on Condi Rice and Bill Frist; and many books by Oliver North. Harder to find were books by former President Jimmy Carter, who has put more walk in his Christian talk than the rest of these people combined. There were several books that lay out the Christian case biblically for war, but you’ll probably have to go to Borders to find the Christian case against war.

What caused me to nearly fall off my nonviolent wagon was a book that I found prominently displayed in several area Christian bookstores. Written by right-wing talk-show host Hugh Hewitt, this bit of heavenly advice is called If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat: Crushing the Democrats in Every Election and Why Your Life Depends on It. At one store, I brought this book to a nice lady in customer service, and she looked at it and replied, shaking her head, “I don’t know why we’re selling this, either. If it was up to me, we wouldn’t.” Obviously, many of the people who work at these stores don’t even realize that they’re selling this kind of book.

This sour experience got me curious as to what other books these stores were selling. The following is a list of books that I found either on site at a Christian bookstore or for sale at one’s online store:

I defend the right of these authors to write and publish as much of this stuff as they want; my problem with it is WHAT IN GOD’S NAME ARE THESE BOOKS DOING IN A CHRISTIAN BOOKSTORE?!? They should be over in the political section at Tower keeping the inflammatory left-wing screeds company. In the interest of accuracy, it is possible to find a modest amount of moderately progressive Christian literature in these stores, books like God’s Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It by Jim Wallis, or Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality by Donald Miller, especially online, where the selection is much larger. There is, however, nothing remotely approaching the “other side” of this sad commentary. I wouldn’t expect that there would be. I don’t think hate-filled polemics of any political persuasion belong in something called a “Christian” bookstore. Maybe I’m naive, but finding books for sale by Michael Savage and Sean Hannity right next to the Bibles strikes me as deeply offensive. What is sadder is that many Christians pass by this stuff as if there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of it; this kind of venomous spewing has become the politics of choice for the religious right. Why would it be noticed if one goes from Limbaugh in the car to Fox News in the house to Crushing the Democrats at the local Christian bookstore?

These right wing purists decry the left wing assault on their agenda while they hide their literature and propaganda in Christian Bible bookstores, a place where no right minded(Literal right) person would go. This is how they hide their secret agenda, behind a cover of supposed peace, love and brotherhood. While the left has nowhere but the public domain to broadcast their views, the neo-nazis on the right, cry about freedom of speech and their rights while they hide their hate literature in a safe haven of suppossed tranquility. It is time to go to these stores and read what they are putting out and force them to remove this kind of literature, out into the open. Boycott a local Christian bookstore if they are spreading hate literature.

Among Christians, there should be healthy debate over important issues like when war is just and what a Christian’s duty is in supporting his or her government in times like these. These are valid issues for Christians and non-Christians alike, and a scholarly look at all sides of these debates from a Christian worldview is exactly the kind of book I would expect to find at a Christian bookstore. There are books that debate these questions, and you can find them in most Christian bookstores. Sadly, though, there are a lot more books like those listed above. These books are nothing more than hit pieces from the far right, published by the likes of Regnery Publishing, many of whose titles are facsimiles of the John Birch-style literature transported 40 years to the present. Books like these are meant to inflame, not inform. They are shoddily written, trade gossip and rumor for facts, and add nothing to the debate but hate. I believe that Christian bookstores do a great disservice to the faith by carrying these kinds of books. First, by being the purveyors of this kind of hate-mongering garbage, they are acting in a most un-biblical fashion; and, second, they are passing on this trash to Christian consumers who then contribute to the divisive noise that is tearing this nation apart by repeating what they have read, rather than taking a more loving and healing approach to the unbeliever. This, in turn, reaffirms the stereotype that many non-Christians have of Christians: that they are all hate-filled right-wing zealots.

Sound like any bucktoothed serpents we know here on TVNL? Useless drones of a system that pretends love but preaches hatred.

Jesus said, “What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him 'unclean,’ but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.’” I would hope that Christian bookstores would take the high road when it comes to politics--maybe even stop and think about what is written on those cute little bracelets they sell at the front counter: WWJD--what would Jesus do? I can see it now, after a long day healing the sick and tending to the poor, Jesus comes back to the campsite where the 12 disciples are sitting around, having a bite to eat and talking about their day. Jesus finds a nice spot under a tree to lie down, and as he does, he yells, “Hey, Peter! Do you have my copy of Liberals Are Killing America?” “No,” Peter replies, “I’m still reading the Michael Savage.” “Now that, that was a great book!” our Lord and Savior exclaims.

Yes, and we know that Mike Savage is a regressive mentally challenged, who appeals only to like minds so what does that say about bucktoothed serpents? They're mentally challenged. WWJD or say about these types? What would the bible say?

"Shun profane and vain babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer.” --2 Timothy 2:16-17

That cancer is spreading daily and growing in intensity, thanks to the subversive dark side of the right wing christian agenda.

You cannot help ignorance. Repub's are bred and taught from birth to be a repub. Liberals are ones who experience the world and see the world as they see it and make up there mind. "MY" parents never pushed politics on me, thank god. People like bucky make me not want to vote for a repub again, but I sit back and realize thats part of the problem so I wont stoop to that childish low.
